Supercharge your impact on global issues and drive transformative
change in the world around you Impact the World: Live Your Values
and Drive Change As a Citizen Statesperson is your motivational
guide to becoming a superpowered individual committed to improving
your community--and the world--through your values and actions.
You'll discover why the intersection of a renewed civic spirit and
new technologies empowering individuals at the local level equates
to an unprecedented opportunity to channel global impact. From
poverty and homelessness to violence and corruption, we often see
challenges in the world around us and ask, "Why doesn't someone do
something?" We look to people with more experience, or people with
more influence, or people with more time or resources than
ourselves to step up and find answers to some of our biggest
problems. But what if we didn't wait for others? What if we stepped
up, and looked for ways to employ our skills to solve the biggest
and most complex problems of our time? That's what leaders do.
That's what citizen statespeople do. This book is a call to action.
From local to global, from the private sector to government, and to
the frontlines of social entrepreneurship, authors Carrie Rich and
Dean Fealk explore the benefits and challenges of becoming a
citizen statesperson, showing how to pull together disparate
threads to solve pressing social, political, and economic
challenges. You'll also discover: The lifecycle of a citizen
statesperson, including an enlightening discussion of how to build
your personal brand Inspiring case studies of real-life citizen
statespeople around the world Explorations of the new technologies
that can be used to accelerate the impact of a citizen statesperson
on the world Simultaneously optimistic, inspiring, intensely
practical, and engaging, Impact the World will earn a valued place
in the libraries of civic leaders, activists, social justice
advocates, business executives, politicians, volunteers, public
servants, and anyone else looking for a way to magnify their
influence and impact in any area that matters to them.
